A group of men stand outside a building with a sign above them that reads 'World War Veterans applications for the bonus filled out here'. The men are dressed in suits and coats, with some wearing hats, indicative of a mid-20th century style. They appear to be engaged in conversation, with one man gesturing as he speaks. The background shows a brick building with large windows.
